I’m excited to read all of the misguided “Dean out!” messages.

Misguided???

Have you been watching us lately

Consistency is vital, so it’s important we conceded the obligatory 2 goals today to maintain our stats for the season. 

So depressing.

Guilbert, Luiz and Trezeguet in particular do not look good enough at this level. But it feels mean picking on individuals, a truly awful performance from all 14 of our players who stepped out onto the pitch today.

We are consistency terrible

Quoting myself from the last thread, depressingly, what the **** is wrong with this team? No mental strength at all.

[thunderball]

Too late to influence this seasons outcome but I’d sack Smith and bring in someone else to rebuild in the Championship. The romance is over, Smith/Terry isn’t good enough for our ambition and the owners expectation.

[Rodders]

Now I'm losing faith in Dean. I expected a struggle but we are not improving and our defence is shite. 

[Vive_La_Villa]

I didn’t think we would get anything from this but I didn’t think we’d lose so badly. The score flattered us. They should have won by a lot more.

Anyone still thinking we are staying in this division needs lobotomising.

Do you want to stay here and endure this shit over and over again. I'm not sure.

[Phil Silvers]

DIABOLICAL

even Grealish was terrible today

they double or triple marked Jack out the game or fouled him if 1 v 1.

That should create space elsewhere. I never counted, did they have 13 players?

How is it misguided?

[nick76]

Absolutely awful, with Grealish not in the game this team were awful.

I just dont know!!!!  That was so bad, especially first half.  Second to everything, cant pass, and we know we concede goals but why do we now not look like scoring!  This is a total over reaction I'm hoping but we are f*cked!  I cant believe how bad that was....against Southampton.

Hause and Konsa were so bad!  I've kept my mouth shut on Hause but he is the most nonchalant player I've ever seen and no right to be.  Konsa seems a liability.  Luiz, was he even interested. Nakamba had one of his bad games.  El Ghazi.....what was that! Grealish was played against very well by Southampton.  Samatta was alright, if only he had been given some service....

So disheartened tonight it's unbelievable........

We have to change something dont we, if we carry on this way we will go down. We can not change the team we have its too late. Rightly or wrongly there is only one change we can make and that is the management team. Love them or hate them, blame them or not. It is the only change that can be made. We have to change something. We cant put our love for Dean above any chance of staying up 

[MikeMcKenna]

It’s midnight here in Thailand and I am absolutely gutted after that pathetic performance. We are not a premier league side. I really haven’t got a clue how this is going to be turned around. After the great performance v Spurs, I thought we would be better but we were sh*te, absolutely F***** sh*te. 

[nokesy]

**** it, didn’t sack Smith In December and now we are Paying the price. Anyone who thinks we have a glimmer of hope of staying up must have started watching football yesterday 

[pacbuddies]

Our owners must be ok with relegation or they would have sacked Smith before Christmas.

[BleedClaretAndBlue]

Wow. That was excellent. Well played Villa.

How naive of me to be optimistic after a decent attacking performance against spurs. Non existent today. Even Jack couldnt get into the game, asking too much of anyone else though clearly to step up and take on the burden. Mistakes all over the place again, cant pass and move, players having to go off because they arent up for the fight. Damaging loss again.

We are going to get absolutely humiliated at Wembley next week, the good times just keep on rolling. Really dont know where we go from here other than down. The Watford and Leicester wins were the perfect springboard for us to sort things out in this part of the season, but 3 straight defeats and we’re really looking down the barrel...

We played some really good stuff against spurs and deserved at least a point. Not very good, today, poor against Bournemouth, were good before that though. Away we look a different side at the moment. We need to win some home games sharpish.

All the Smith out stuff though I do think is misguided though as it goes. He should stay even if relegated.
